>Yudin: McNerney stole GOP idea
Bergen County Republicans say that County Executive Dennis McNerney stole their idea to cut an open space tax because he’s facing a tough reelection battle. “Our organization and our candidates have argued for years that the open space tax is being misused and that it must be cut to provide tax relief, but the Democrats have ignored our proposals,” said county GOP Chairman Bob Yudin in a written statement. “Now all of a sudden, when McNerney is facing a desperate election, he is trying to co-opt our ideas that he ignored for years.” McNerney, a Democrat, mentioned the idea in his “state of the county” address last night.
